A shepherd boy had a little goat that was everything to him. One morning his little friend escorted him along a path to a cave that held treasures. An invisible voice kept repeating: “Choose the object you want, choose shepherd boy”.
And after a while he chose a bell and hung it around the goat’s neck.
A simple fairy tale that, for Maria Lai, is a metaphor for art and the path that the artist must take to make his work profound.
And it is precisely to the artist from Ulassai, ten years after his death, that we want to dedicate this story that speaks to adults and children about fear and doubt, about love and trust.
